ongoing increasing financial costs of running this service is making it

My Name is Natalia. i just starting to build my IBC aquaponics and i need hdpe liner. i see that you live in perth australia, do you know where to get hdpe or ldpe liner around here?.
i missed your workshop. i only see it today. you going to have another one?

It depends how much you are after. We can get pond liner in long rolls for large jobs, but we don't sell by the metre or break up rolls.

As far as the workshops are concerned, the next will most likely be March. If you go to my Perth Aquaponics Facebook page and click "Follow", I post workshop details on there and you will get an automatic notification when I do.

I am an INDY 23 plan purchaser but when I click pictures inside the Indy 23 private forum i get this message: "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action." Any suggestions please?

1) I would like to see the Indy 23 Pictures on this site that have been posted by other INDY 23 builders
2) I was hoping to gain some clarity on the shipping rates of having some items shipped to me here in the USA.
3) I may have a couple of technical Indy 23 specific questions as I am about to start my build. I was hoping to speak with someone here in the USA that has built already.

Hi Yabbies, I have done my calculations for aeration into fish tanks and dwc as per the formulas in the design course. There is a 40 l/min pump listed in the Indy 11.5 plan set. My figures are 75 l/min for a 1000 l fish tank and 28 l/ min for the dwc Is this because the water flow is providing aeration. I am curious to know , if I can go down from 120 l/min to 80l/min,it draws only half the power.
Cheers mate

Hello Daniel and Yabbies4me.
First of all I apologize for my bad english.
I am a Brazilian and I am very far away to attend Mr. Hallan's courses. I was looking for information on aeration / oxygenation calculations for the aquaponic system I'm designing and I found this comment so if you could, I'd like you to send me the calculations you mention. I leave here my email: joaosigno@gmail.com.

Yabbies, I'm hoping you can help me post. I keep getting the following message: "You are behind private proxy, and we do not allow private proxy. If you believe this is an error, please send e-mail to us." I am not behind a private proxy (that I know of.) Can you please help? Thanks.

But the size and amount of the product was little in comparison to ordinary rice. what can I do to increase my out put of the product? thank you

I had recently sent additional information you requested to you on my deficiency problem but have not seen a reply. Want to make sure you got the information i sent. Since that time i have seen an improvement, but would like to lay my questions to rest about what is best to add and how much to cover all areas.

This message board only allows 400 characters, so I can't reply properly. Questions such as this are probably best posted on the open forum, that's what it's here for after all. The forum enables you to access the knowledge/experience of many, as opposed to just one opinion. I will PM you my response.

Yabbies....are you the guy that developed and built a "one barrel" system in which the top 1/3 of the barrel was inverted to use as a grow bed ...a hole was then cut in the side to feed the fish....
If that's not you...do you know who that person is..?

Hi, If you click on the "Forums" tab, then look for the "Water Chemistry" heading, it contains a thread titled "Reducing or Dropping System Water pH Safely."... it should contain all the info you need. Cheers!

The system was designed and built using the K.I.S.S. principal, it runs brilliantly, I haven't had any major dramas, it only has one pump that runs 24/7, no timers or anything that can stuff up. You can get all the parts you need from a hydro store and your local hardware.

i love your small setup, it looks like you spent some good money on it and i look forward to seeing it run, i have a 600 litre setup made out of scavenged parts and a whole lot of cuss words, please let me know how well made and easy to use your setup is as i am looking at buying one soon
